Mike Robinson and crew put the athletes through agility stations along with position specific drills and competitions. Not only was the number of athletes attending impressive, but so was the quality of the talent at the showcase. Here are a few of the offensive and defensive linemen attending that stood out in the pass pro and pass rush competition.
Vasean Washington Vasean Washington 6'3" | 265 lbs | OL Springfield | 2022 OH 6’5” 265 OL Springfield 2022
Washington was one of the most physically impressive players at the showcase. He has a huge wingspan to go along with excellent mobility for his size. He uses his long arms to keep rushers at bay and often steering them deeper than the quarterback.
Patrick Valent Patrick Valent 6'4" | 285 lbs | OL Warren JFK | 2023 State OH 6’4” 275 OL Huber Heights Wayne 2023
Tengesdahl will only be a junior this season. He uses his hands well in pass protection in controlling the pass rusher and keeping them from getting into his body exhibiting exceptional arm extension.
Khalil Walker Khalil Walker 6'3" | 290 lbs | OL Pickerington Central | 2022 State OH 6’3” 290 OL Canton McKinley 2022
Walker came all the way from Canton to participate in the showcase and it was worth the trip. Defensive linemen had no chance of power rushing him as he used his body to cover up and stalemate rushers.
Michael Seney Michael Seney 6'3" | 250 lbs | OL Perrysburg | 2022 OH 6’3” 250 OL Perrysburg 2022
This guy couldn’t have worked harder at getting repetitions in the competition, he kept jumping in every chance possible. A true offensive center, Seney worked his hands into the frame of the rusher and showed foot quickness in keeping his body between the rusher and his quarterback.
Antwan Blackshear Antwan Blackshear 6'3" | 310 lbs | DL Trotwood Madison | 2022 State OH 6’3” 310 DL/OL Trotwood Madison 2022
Antwan worked both sides of the ball in the pass rush drills and was dominating in both. As an inside rusher, Blackshear was quick off the ball and delivered a devastating first strike to the blocker then quickly disengaged to get to the ball. Offensively, he was extremely fluid for a big man.
Rico Franklin-Davis Rico Franklin-Davis 6'3" | 235 lbs | DL Olentangy Orange | 2022 OH 6’3” 235 DL Olentangy Orange 2022
Rico is one of the best senior defensive ends in central Ohio for the upcoming season. He is extremely quick off the ball and works the edges of the pass blocker exceptionally well. Rico gives great effort every snap.
Tywan January Tywan January 5'11" | 260 lbs | DL Springfield | 2022 OH 5’11” 260 DL Springfield 2022
January is a stocky and strong interior defensive lineman whose motor never quits. He has excellent quickness for his size and works the push-pull pass rush technique to perfection as he slides his hips to the outside to finish the move.
